Hello,

I am new to Kubota and unknowingly bought a grey market version. It appears the L3001 is pretty close to the L345 sold here. The loader is a TDL3001 (never heard of it and can't find any info on it either).

The issue I am having is low power in FEL (the previous owner claims they could pick up a pallet of pavers with the forks). The hydraulic hoses are routed from the front to the 3pt cylinder (just below the knob to adjust how fast or slow the 3pt drops) and the return is to the top of the transmission.

When I bought it, the loader would not raise at all. I discovered the levers for the 3pt (Draft and Position) had to be back fully for the loader to work.

The other issue is that when I raise the loader, the 3pt raises as well.:confused:

Is this the correct way to route these lines? Can I isolate the FEL and 3pt so they can be operated independently? Is the low power (strength) of the loader due to the system operating both at the same time?

Thanks
